Germany has better (and very, very costly) road infrastructure in parts with the motorways. On Landstrassen, die statistics are pretty bad even if the same people are driving there.
And, I don’t think it is not a convincing argument that “actually, that are not so many people that are dying, only about 3000 people per year die”.
Country roads have more accidents everywhere. But yeah, maybe it’s the better infrastructure that impacts number of accidents, not better educated drivers. I don’t think there are any statistics that can compare this fairly.

What you also have to consider is that about 3.5 times more people die of bad air quality caused by traffic, than by traffic accidents.. So, adding to the 3000 deaths per year by traffic, we have 11,000 deaths by pollution caused by traffic. Yes, if you are speeding, you are killing other people, even if you don’t have an accident.
